Measurement resources

For this NEMP task students order six shapes from smallest to largest by area.

This practical task requires students to lift a 1 kg weight and then estimate whether a range of everyday objects weigh less than, about the same as, or more than 1 kilogram.

In this practical task, students decide which of four shapes have the same area, then use 100s blocks to check their answer.

This task is about identifying the best unit to measure temperature, weight, time, capacity and length.

Students interpret a calendar of the month of March.

Students draw times onto analogue clock faces and interpret analogue times.

Students carry out time calculations and show digital times on analogue clock faces.

Students carry out time calculations, showing some responses on analogue clock faces, and interpret an analogue time.

Students record the times shown on analogue clock faces in words and as digital times.

Students interpret and answer questions from a bus timetable including some time calculations.

Students calculate and record the length and height of coins in centimetres and metres.

Students draw a line from each measurement and unit to its equivalent.

Students answer two multiple-choice questions about the number of smaller blocks that fit into larger cuboid containers.
